It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,

the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide

And though we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again.

We little knew that morning,

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved your dearly,

In death we do the same.
